Multiple explosions have been heard in two cities in India-controlled Kashmir hours after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire deal, following the US-led talks to end the most serious military confrontation between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades
Explosions are echoing across Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir, according to the region’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
“What the hell just happened to the ceasefire?” Omar Abdullah wrote on social media.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy has described the ceasefire between India and Pakistan as “hugely welcome”, in a post on social media adding: “I urge both parties to sustain this. De-escalation is in everybody’s interest”
